- Unbaptised Children.Unbaptised children are supposed to be buried someplace near Blane and also in Cahara.People meet "the hungry grass" when these graves are tread on. They get quite weak and unless they are able to procure a little food, even a crumb, they almost die of hunger.Those who have met with the "hungry grass" say that you could have eaten a full meal the moment before and still get this awful hunger.
